Hey Robert....

I think you are confusing crude oil with canola oil.

RE: Shook'ums", Just sleep it off...

Pepps, I would like to pay also. I have not got my membership certificate yet.


I agree CH....I have enjoyed many of Snooks blogs also.

Just let me know, I will hold up my side of the bargain.

Pepps if you like lobster, I will take you out for that. I hate shelled seafood, I will just eat the free bread.

RE: say anything blog

Hello SR...

A bitter/sweet frustration here. I am currently on a mini vacation because I have all my investment dollars tied up. /


It gives me some time to free up some brain power to take an overview look at my business strategies.

The Gift of High Oil Prices

If you want to meet in Kalamazoo Pepps (that is about halfway), I will spring for the meal.

Hello SR,

Hmmm...I was not aware of that, as I am not really up to date on these things. It is possibly an issue that a solution can be found for in the future...hopefully sooner than later.

Thank you for sharing.

Candy,

It sounds like you need some solar/wind technology down there. I think it would be cute (or possibly just a dream) to have a solar and wind power generating business make that stuff and operate their company at a bare minimal profit. Actually, do something good for humankind. :)

The Gift of High Oil Prices

Pepps...welcome back to the neighborhood. :) I see right now you guys have some bad storms in your area. I think you are packing up at the right time.

The Gift of High Oil Prices

DH,

I agree. Wind and solar have been around for many years. However, reliable and practical electric cars available to the masses is somewhat a new concept.

It would be nice for the world as a whole to have gotten a "slap in the face" on just how much the oil companies hold us hostage. I mean after the 2.5 fold of the fuel cost and not the mention the 3 fold cost with heating homes. Not to mention the wars it has caused, the mass pollution to our waters and land, and the lobbying power these oil companies have with our governments. I am sure I am missing other aspects to consider.

Would be nice for all that stuff to add up to us seeing the benefits of being self sufficient.

Thanks

Sands,

I do agree. A lot of oil related jobs would be lost. But, new jobs should become available in the renewable resource industry.

The Gift of High Oil Prices

Pepps, are going to get yourself an electric car sometime in the future? After you get that, you can look into buying your own self sufficient power source. I think right now, all that stuff is a little expensive. But, as time goes on...and economies of scale kick in, the price should drop a bit. Not to mention, the quality should also increase.

There are so many benefits of us becoming self sufficient. :)

The Gift of High Oil Prices

Rather rude of somebody to push you Pepps. You know I would never do that to you.

The Gift of High Oil Prices

Maybe....just maybe they will create a wind and sun tax for us.


But, no more wars over oil.

The Gift of High Oil Prices

Pepps...I know you probably travel, power, and heat your home for free as it is....but, there are the rest of us.

RE: Still Searching

...making me blush Pepps....shame on you.

RE: Still Searching

Hello Pepps.....I was.

RE: Still Searching

I know several on here in your same position.

RE: Greetings from Myself ;)

Happy B-Day

RE: The place you met before or you want to meet your

P....


I suspect that is why a lot of us are single. In my opinion, it is difficult to form a relationship without prospective partner being comfortable around you and knowing you to some extent. I think we are a not very trusting society so people want to see to believe...rather than hear to believe. Propinquity, such as people at a job or in a network of friends really gives a person a head start at finding a relationship.

I agree, I am not so sure a bar is the best place to find somebody new. However, lets look at the reality....we are still single. Maybe keeping an open mind as to where to find Mr./Mrs. Right might be what is called for? I am not saying start slamming shots of Jack Daniels in the bar tonight and wait for the first guy who approaches to start a relationship with. But, what I am saying is maybe approach all environments with an open mind. Let that man/woman disqualify themselves before you put them on that list before even giving them a shot.

In summary, it is difficult finding a partner if you do not have propinquity. One has to think, where am I most likely to find the type of person I am looking for? Then, situation yourself in that type of environment. The fact remains, time does not stop ticking...and sometimes our expectations might not be a reality.

I have found eating at the same restaurant has brought me closer to people than if I was just walking randomly in public and saying hi and chatting a bit. The more people can "see" who you are and your personality, the better they can judge you and the more likely a relationship can start if you both like each other. Also, when I was finishing up college a few years back, I became close friends with a lot of women in my classes.


Best of luck to you in your shopping P.

RE: Just Chilling...quiet time

You can find Yoda almost anywhere.....


at your local five and dime


at your local seven/eleven


at a car wash


in an adult store lol


Just about anywhere, you see?

RE: Just Chilling...quiet time

CH,

Yoda is a character (about 2 feet tall), playing the role of divine wisdom.....at least I think anyway.

RE: Positive wishes for everyone

Thank you SR....I wish you peace, love, and happiness in your life also.

RE: Just Chilling...quiet time

depressed you say.... You have a long way to go before you understand the essence of the weeds. BTW...I am watching Star Wars....think Yoda is rubbing off on me....

RE: Just Chilling...quiet time

Okay DH, that makes $100 a song more palatable.

RE: Just Chilling...quiet time

$100 a song? Here I was thinking that Pepper put the "G" in greedy. If you are looking for a truly deep relaxation session....pull out your bag of weeds and put some Pink Floyd on (Comfortably Numb....The Pulse live version is the best).

RE: The art of being humble ...

Indeed.....there seems to be way to much, I, I, I in the world these days.

I gotta go ladies. I feel like I am being taken advantage of.....full body massage.....no paper payment....

Child on Christmas night

Pepps, I didn't know you offered that service. My money is good as long as your bill is cheap. CH does bring up a good point about post dated checks. I have many of those.
